Both are free to download. Spell, Write and Read sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Sight Words Spelling sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sight Words Spelling holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sight Words Spelling has 53 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Spell, Write and Read's written reviews are positive against 43% of Sight Words Spelling's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
